Chapter 1649: Extremely Lively

s soon as she saw the young lady of their own county, the whole place exploded with chatter. Qing Ya instinctively shrank her neck, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity. After all, she had been gi...The next day, Ye Er and Xiao Qin's wedding wasn't very lively, especially at the Ye residence.

Now, Ye Er is a favorite of the Emperor and many high-ranking officials want to attend their wedding. However, not many received invitations from the Ye family because Ye Er doesn't want to get involved in the power struggles of the capital's elite and wants to avoid being too close to those who flatter authority.

To others, he was the emperor's favorite, but only he knew that the closer one was to the emperor, the easier it was to lose their life.

Although the Ye family did not deliberately make a high-profile affair of this wedding, Ye Er prepared every ceremony that women in the world longed for with care.

But the wedding wasn't exactly low-key. The Marchioness of Anle Houfu was eager to let everyone in the capital know that the red-hot Lord Ye was about to become their son-in-law.

So, under her vigorous promotion, almost all the dignitaries and commoners in the capital city knew that today Ye Mansion and Anle Marquis Mansion were getting married.

Thus, early that day, many commoners eager for a spectacle appeared on the streets of Beijing.

Some people even ran to the gates of Ye Mansion and Anle Hou Mansion, waiting for candy and watching the excitement, hoping to catch some good luck.

And the Anle Marquis' Mansion did not disappoint these commoners. Even before dawn, servants from the Anle Marquis' Mansion beat drums and gongs, distributing candies to the people.

Houfu's life was afraid that nobody would know about this marriage, so he deliberately invited a few performers to show off their skills in front of the Anle Hou Mansion.

When the news reached those noblewomen that he had invited performers to entertain at his daughter's wedding, they gossiped about it for days afterward.

But Madam Hou was unaware of this, and did not wish to know.

She only cared that after years of waiting, the Anle Houfu was finally going to rise again.

After receiving the wedding candy, the people gathered in front of the Hou Mansion's gate flocked to the area where the performers were. The atmosphere was lively and festive; everyone enjoyed the free performances immensely, erupting in excited calls from time to time.

The front gate of the Duke Anle's mansion hadn't been this lively in years.

At this moment, Madam Hou stood with her two sons at the gate of the Hou residence, watching from afar. Seeing the throngs of people before them, Madam Hou finally broke into a satisfied smile and sighed, "Do you know how long it has been since our Hou residence has had such a crowd Since our family fell from grace and you were exiled to that desolate place, not even those powerful nobles have visited, let alone ordinary folk. They feared being tainted by the misfortune of our Hou residence."

Speaking of which, Madam Hou's eyes turned cold. "Of course, one can't blame people for being realistic. If someone else's family had encountered such a situation back then, our Hou Mansion would have wanted to stay as far away from them as possible, and even wished to have nothing to do with them, fearing they might drag us down and affect our own future."

“So when such a big incident happened in our Hou Mansion back then, those people in the capital chose to stay away from us, and it wasn't their fault. ' After saying that, she turned her head and looked seriously at her two sons, and earnestly admonished, 'We must remember how much everyone in the capital looked down on our Hou Mansion over the past few years, and in the future, we will make them unable to reach us.' "

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, you must strive to excel and make a name for yourselves. Once you have achieved recognition in the official circles, our Hou Mansion will never worry about lacking suitors. At that time, these people will be vying for our favor."

Everything she does now is to restore the honor of the Hou Mansion.

Eldest Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao looked at each other, both with a helpless expression in their eyes. Of course they knew their mother was trying to restore the honor of the Hou Mansion, regain face, and have Anle Hou Mansion reappear in the sight of the people of the capital.

But, on Xiaoqin's wedding day, inviting performing artists to steal her limelight, is that really a good idea

Whose mother would treat their own daughter like this

Who would a mother allow to steal her daughter's thunder on her wedding day Is this arrangement really appropriate

Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and she didn't help Xiao Qin prepare for her wedding properly. For the sake of excitement, she disregarded Xiao Qin's face and invited entertainers to steal the spotlight on her big day. The two siblings truly couldn't understand, nor could they accept it.

Although their mother's actions had been strictly prohibited, and even her husband had firmly objected, she seemed possessed, determined to carry out this plan.

She even threatened that if they didn't go along with her wishes, Xiaoqin's marriage would be anything but smooth. In the end, they had to compromise.

"!" Madam Hou's face instantly darkened, gritting her teeth, "Come back! Where do you think you're going"

Xiao Jia's second brother didn't want to pay any attention to this absurd mother at all. He walked straight to Xiao Qin's yard without looking back.

Xiaojia, the eldest brother who stayed with his mother, looked at his own mother helplessly, then glanced at his younger brother's back, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, but he was helpless.

Of course, he was unhappy with his mother's actions, but today he couldn't be willful.

My father said that many people would come to our house today, including many influential figures.

His father is now entertaining high-ranking officials. Due to his mother's recent behavior, he has ordered his two sons to keep a close eye on her.

For fear she would again today do something embarrassing.

They stayed by their mother's side out of fear that she would actually do something inconceivable, as their father had warned.

So now his younger brother can leave, but he cannot. Right now, he can only stay by his mother's side to prevent her from doing anything rash.

Housekeeper Hou had always been accustomed to her children's filial piety. Seeing the attitude of her second son now, she was instantly enraged, gritting her teeth, "How has this child become increasingly disobedient recently"

Xiaojia Big Brother let out a slight sigh, “Mother worries too much. The second brother just can’t wait to see Qin’er and how things are prepared on her side. After all, it’s getting late, and the Ye Family’s wedding procession will arrive soon.”

Madam Hou gave him a cold glance and let out an unamused snort, knowing the two brothers were covering for each other.

It's just a day of great joy at Hou Manor, and she's too lazy to care about them much. Besides, there are so many important guests at the manor today, and she can't reprimand her sons in front of them.

Just then, some official wives also arrived at the front gate of Hou's mansion. She immediately put on a very insincere smile and hurried to greet them.

Xiaojia's eldest brother pursed his lips, sighed, and also lifted his feet to follow. a thread, instantly plummeted.Although the emperor said he would deal with him later, he was overjoyed at this moment.He did it, he really succeeded.The Queen did not order his death directly, which...
